Aldridge Brownlee Solicitors was among the firms recommended by our house agent. I chose them because of a very satisfactory first meeting and a favourable quote.
Every aspect of our house sale and subsequent house purchase has been dealt with in a timely and most professional manner.
All the staff I encountered at the Highcliffe Office have been more than obliging. It has been a pleasure dealing with this firm and I would highly recommend them.
